Immersive visual environment can deceive our interoceptive perception of how we move relative to our environment. If the visual environment or a high reliance on vision produces straining work conditions, motion sickness or is associated with a medical disorder, the causes merit addressing. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether postural control adapts to challenging visua
Purpose: To investigate factors guiding follow-up imaging after hospital discharge in atraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) across large European academic centers and compare decision-making patterns using a standardized approach. Methods: Expert neuroradiologists from nine European centers in eight countries detailed their follow-up algorithms for deep and lobar ICH, specifying (1) patient-re
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) have been compromised by cyber-attacks with the development of computer and network technologies over the past few decades. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) play a significant role in ensuring information security, and the key mechanism is to identify various attacks in the network accurately. One common strategy when implementing an IDS is to use a machine-learn
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving carbon neutrality require enhancing spark-ignition engine efficiency and compatibility with renewable fuels. However, electrode wear of spark plugs presents a significant challenge in hydrogen-fueled spark-ignition internal combustion engines. Such excessive wear increases the total cost of ownership and may delay the introduction of such low-emissio
Whereas a considerable literature emphasizes the role and function of municipalities and regions in the European Union (EU) as an expression of multilevel governance, a parallel literature has emerged which projects a view of the EU as an example of multilevel administration. This latter literature directs attention towards emerging vertical linkages implying new chains of accountability and
Background: The incidence of pancreatic cancer (PC) and autoimmune diseases (ADs) has been increasing worldwide. While certain associations between specific ADs, such as pancreatitis, and PC have long been well confirmed, population-focused research investigating the broader spectrum of ADs and their relationship with PC risk remains limited. Methods: We implemented a cohort study based on populat
The chemical abundances of stars in galaxies are a fossil record of the star formation and stellar evolution processes that regulate galaxy formation, including the stellar initial mass function, the fraction and timing of type Ia supernovae (SNeIa), and nucleosynthesis inside massive stars. In this paper, we systematically explore uncertainties associated with modeling chemical enrichment in dwar
Contrasting predominant assumptions of women who live with age-related care needs as passive, unagentic, and helpless, this article explores agency exercised in everyday lives permeated by formal home care services. Using a narrative thematic analysis of interviews, diaries, and observations of three Swedish women in later life using home care services, this study examines their diverse ways of na

IntroductionMidwifery knowledge, education and training in practice are challenged in contemporary maternity care by the growing trend towards interventions during childbirth, a dominant risk perspective and medicalised care. There is an ongoing debate about the definition of normal birth, however, midwives continue to advocate for normal birth.ObjectiveTo explore midwives’ views and definitions o
Social mobility can theoretically have an independent impact on fertility. The problem is empirically assessing it, as mobility is a function of both social origin and destination. This paper presents the Diagonal Reference Model (DRM) as a valuable historical method to study social mobility consequences. We use Swedish individual-level longitudinal data with intergenerational links covering 1905
This paper analyzes the career paths of international students in Sweden after graduation. By matching individual data on international graduates with information about their employers, we analyse the sectors in which they began their careers in Sweden after graduation between 2003 and 2014. We propose that international graduates find better job opportunities in firms operating in sectors that re
The present study evaluates two different screening tools–the Ability to Quickly See Quantities (AQSQ) test and the Number Sense Test (NST) targeting subitising and part-whole relationships, respectively–to examine their potential to indicate early numeracy challenges. Seventy-four kindergarten students participated, and their performances on the two tests were analyzed using correlational analyse
Contemporary Western countries show a strong socioeconomic gradient in health and mortality, but it remains unclear if such a gradient existed in historical societies as well. We use linked full-count censuses and death registers for Sweden, covering the cohorts 1841-1920, to study the development of the socioeconomic differences in longevity across these cohorts. Initially men in white-collar occ
This meta-analysis and systematic review examined the effects of psychedelic substances on death anxiety, specifically evaluating whether psychedelic experiences are associated with statistically significant reductions in death anxiety. A systematic search identified 8 studies suitable for meta-analysis and 10 additional studies for systematic review. Using a random-effects model, the meta-analysi
Importance Long-term follow-up studies regarding the safety of risk-reducing mastectomy (RRM) in terms of cancer risk and surgical complications among women with germline pathogenic variants (gPVs) in BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) are scarce. Objective To analyze cancer risk and surgical complications after RRM. Design, Setting, and Participants This nationwide cohort study investigated 1208 Swedish wo
The paper embarks on an exploration of how technological advancements are poised to reshape the landscape of future consumption and marketing practices and extend our understanding of whether this trajectory is potentially leading toward a future digital utopia or a dystopia. Drawing upon the theoretical understanding from Marshall McLuhan, this research investigates the metaverse as a novel techn
Background: Evidence on the association between systemic glucocorticoid use and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk is limited. This study aimed to determine whether systemic glucocorticoid use is associated with an increased risk of overall CRC (diagnosed at any age) and early-onset CRC (EOCRC; diagnosed before 50 years of age). Methods: A nationwide cohort study (follow-up: 2005–2018) was conducted usi
Introduction A World Health Organization (WHO) system has recently been introduced to standardize reporting of lymph node fine-needle aspiration biopsy (LN-FNAB) cytopathology. Herein, we analyze its diagnostic performance in a routine setting.Materials and methodsWe reviewed 2274 consecutive lymph node fine-needle aspiration biopsies categorized according to the WHO system.
